Art in Architecture by Hans Ulrich Obrist, live today

Therme Art and Serpentine Galleries together for a new digital palimpsest: Wellbeing Culture Forum is a new weekly program that talks about culture in times of pandemic. The first event, Art in Architecture, will be moderated by Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Therme Art, project of the Therme Group company dedicated to art, inaugurates Wellbeing Culture Forum, a new weekly program of online discussions, both public and private, focusing on how covid-19 and its lockdown period are influencing and radically changing the culture sector. The first of these seminars will take place on 27 May from 3-4:30 PM Berlin time (BST: 14:00–15:30; EST 9:00–10:30; PDT:06:00–07:30) in collaboration with Serpentine Galleries. Registration available here.  

“Art and architecture have a transformative potential.” Affirm Obrist and Bettina Korek (CEO, Serpentine Galleries) “we could not phrase it better than Gerhard Richter, when he said that art is the highest form of hope. The same thing is true also for architecture – it’s something which can have extraordinary impact on all our lives.”
